I've already become a Hogwarts professor, and the system only just appeared.

But now, face to face, the lump of coal in his arms gave the answer. In fact, Vernon was worried. He didn't know Su Yu at all, and he was worried that Su Yu was a bad person who would be a threat to Harry.

Ah, this reason seemed illogical to Su Yu, but human nature is often just that illogical.

Even if you dislike someone you've spent eleven years with, you'll still feel involuntarily worried when they're actually in danger.

Su Yu patted Vernon on the shoulder, showed him his Hogwarts professorship certificate, and then said, "Mr. Dursley, do you know Avery Construction Company?"

Vernon paused for a moment, then asked suspiciously, "Of course, that's one of the top three construction companies in Britain."

Su Yu said, “Very good. It just so happens that I have a good relationship with the owner of this company. If you treat me and Harry better next time we meet, perhaps I can introduce you to some business.”

Vernon was stunned: "You...you have power in our world too?"

Su Yu smiled noncommittally and asked in return, "Do you really think that wizards, with such powerful individual strength, only know how to hide and run away?"

Chapter 72 Birthday Rescue

Vernon looked at Su Yu's serious expression, which seemed genuine, and then imagined himself possessing the magical powers of a wizard...

"I'm sorry, I... I mean... thank you very much, we're sure to have a great working relationship!" Vernon's expression changed again.

On the one hand, this matter is a bit chilling to think about; on the other hand, profit is a powerful motivator. If he could really cooperate with Avery, one of the three major British construction companies, his position would definitely be promoted.

Su Yu didn't lie to Vernon; the Avery family did indeed have a real estate company in Muggle society, run by Jack Avery's cousin.

More than a decade ago, when Voldemort was preparing to rule Britain, Jack Avery had already laid out his plans. He believed that after Voldemort conquered the British wizarding world, he would extend his reach to Muggles.

So he sent his Squib cousin to establish the company, and over the past ten years, using some wizarding tricks, the company has successfully become one of the three major real estate giants in Britain.

Su Yu overheard this story a couple of days ago when he was chatting with Avery about the family business, and he never expected that it could be used to help Harry.

"Alright, I'll take Harry with me then. You can pick him up at King's Cross Station next summer." Su Yu waved, gesturing for Harry to come out.

“Okay, Professor Sue! I understand!” Vernon nodded and watched the two leave. Throughout the entire process, Penny and Dali watched quietly downstairs without saying a word.

As Harry left the Dursleys' house, he stuffed all his luggage into the trunk and asked, "Professor Sue, can I let Hedwig out? She's been cooped up in her cage for a whole month."

"Of course, as long as it can keep up with us, that's fine," Su Yu said nonchalantly.

"Professor, where are we going?" Harry opened the cage and released Hedwig. The white owl instantly spread its wings and soared into the sky like a frolicker.

Su Yu started the car: "I've prepared two options for you. The first is the Feather Magic Mobile Phone Experience Store in Hogsmeade Village, where you can stay temporarily."

“Another option is Ron’s family. I’ve spoken to Ron’s parents, and they would love to have you.”

Harry chose Ron's house almost without hesitation. After all, what could be happier for a 12-year-old than living with his best friend?

"Then get ready, let's go!" Su Yu's car flew into the sky along with Hedwig, and the mission completion notification for Su Yu also appeared.

Ding! Congratulations on completing The Boy Who Lived 3! You have gained +1 Universal Skill Point. You rescued Harry Potter, but you also discovered that a mysterious house-elf seems unwilling to let Harry Potter return to Hogwarts.

Ding! You have triggered the main quest, The Boy Who Lived 4. A mysterious house-elf says that Harry Potter's life will be in danger if he returns to Hogwarts.

It seems a new conspiracy is unfolding around Harry Potter. As his friend, you must help him. Assist Harry Potter in returning to Hogwarts and try to keep him alive as much as possible. Upon completion, you will be rewarded with +1 Universal Skill Point.

After a series of tasks last semester, Su Yu had already made some guesses. The tasks given by the system should be divided into two lines: one is Harry Potter, and the other is Dumbledore.

Now that Harry Potter's questline has been triggered, what quests will Dumbledore give us this year?

Su Yu wasn't looking forward to the missions, but he was looking forward to the rewards they would give. As his skill level increased, Su Yu felt more and more that skill points were really not enough.

A dozen minutes later, Su Yu and Harry arrived at the Burrow. The moment Harry knocked on the door, he saw that everyone in the Weasley family was there, and in the middle of them was a huge five-tiered cake.

"Happy birthday, Harry!" The entire Weasley family, along with Su Yu, said to Harry together.

Harry was so surprised; the Dursleys seemed to have forgotten their own birthday all day.

It wasn't that he had forgotten everything; Dali seemed to remember, but instead of offering his blessings, he severely humiliated himself.

That night, Uncle Vernon locked him in his room again and asked him to pretend he wasn't home, which made Harry extremely sad.

He thought his birthday was over, but to his surprise, Professor Su Yu rescued him from the Dursleys' house. By then, he had even forgotten his own birthday.

But what he saw now was a huge cake—the first whole cake Harry had ever received in his life!

Hagrid gave him one for his birthday last year, but unfortunately Hagrid crushed it, which was a little disappointing. But the cake in front of him is so perfect, big and beautiful, and looks delicious.

"We can't exactly stand at the door and celebrate Harry's birthday, can we?" Su Yu joked.

Molly smiled gently: "That's right, that's right, come in quickly, we're going to sing a birthday song for Harry."

As the joyful birthday song played, Harry felt it was the happiest birthday he had ever had, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"Come on... come on Harry, you have the first piece!" Ginny held up a plate with the cake filled with the most fruit and handed it to Harry.

Harry had met this little girl at King's Cross Station last year when she was still very shy. In the first few days of this summer vacation, Ginny chatted with Harry several times through Ron's magic phone.

Although the little girl was still blushing a bit, the two were not strangers. Harry took the plate and said, "Thank you, Ginny!"

Ginny lowered her head and said in an almost inaudible voice, "No...you're welcome!"

"Ginny's starting school this year, right?" Su Yu asked with interest as he sat with Arthur.

“That’s right, she has already received her acceptance letter.” Arthur nodded.

"Don't you think she has a bit of a crush on Harry?" Su Yu continued.

Arthur immediately perked up. He had six sons, but only one daughter, Ginny, who was his precious little darling. His gaze towards Harry became noticeably wary, somewhat like Old Man looking at a young blond: "It shouldn't be, she's only 11!"

"Hehe, I was just saying, you don't have to take it seriously. I saw in the recent news that the Ministry of Magic seems to be planning a big operation!" Su Yu changed the subject.

Arthur nodded: "That's right. The department has been cracking down on dark magic items recently, including unauthorized modifications to Muggle items. We'll be having a big operation soon, and I'll let you in on a little secret: it might happen tomorrow or the day after."

"Arthur, what's your current position?" Su Yu suddenly asked out of the blue.

Arthur patted Su Yu on the shoulder with a righteous expression and said, "Head of the Office for Prohibiting the Misuse of Muggle Items. Don't worry, you have the backing of the U.S. Ministry of Magic. I won't interfere with your little things."

Su Yu wasn't worried about that. He asked, "Arthur, seriously, are you interested in moving up in rank?"

Chapter 73 The Weasleys (Part 1)

Arthur Weasley coughed twice, almost spitting out the water he had drunk. He looked around, thankfully the children were far enough away: "Sue, don't talk about things like this. I'll pretend I didn't hear anything."

Su Yu smiled. The Weasleys were indeed exceptional in their attitude towards friends, which was why Su Yu wanted to find Arthur as his ally.

At present, Su Yu needs an ally who can speak for him in the Ministry of Magic. As the magic network becomes more and more popular, more people will surely discover its influence on public opinion.

For the time being, he might be able to get away with it by relying on Dumbledore's name and the identity given to him by the Magical Congress of the United States.

But if it really touches on the interests and stability of the Ministry of Magic, Fudge has a hundred ways to get involved, so Su Yu has to prepare in advance.

Avery is a good choice. He can openly cooperate with the Avery family, but he can't be too close to them, otherwise Avery's identity as a Death Eater will be ruined.

If you want to find someone from a pure-blood family who has worked in the Ministry of Magic for many years, has enough seniority, and has a good relationship with you, then after thinking it over, the only one that comes to mind is Arthur.

"I'm not joking, don't you want to?" Su Yu continued to ask.

“Don’t be ridiculous, Sue. Amelia Burns is a very fair person. Her brother died in the war against Voldemort, and the head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement has always been the head of the Auror office.” Arthur’s words were full of insecurity.

Su Yu replied, "Who says it must be the Department of Magical Law Enforcement? According to the information I have, one of the directors of the seven departments has a very serious scandal, and he will be removed from office immediately once it is exposed."

"Who is it?" Arthur asked curiously, but then added, "Even if the director steps down, this position will not be mine."

Su Yu nodded in agreement: "It's not enough now, but it might not be enough for you in the future. If you have any ideas, I can help you."

Arthur was tempted. He was still quite career-minded, and with so many children in his family, he couldn't even afford new clothes and stationery for the start of each school year, which made him feel ashamed.

"What do you need me to do? Sue, although we're very close, you know me, I absolutely... I'll try my best not to do anything illegal or disorderly." Arthur originally wanted to say "absolutely," but then he remembered the modified car in the backyard and changed his mind.

Su Yu handed Arthur a reconnaissance guard and said, "You just need to do your usual work, but I need you to carry this with you when you are enforcing the law and working."

Arthur recognized the object and asked疑惑地问道, "What's the use of taking it?"

"Of course, it will film your daily work and law enforcement activities. You need to let more people know about you and how much you've contributed to the magical world. The editor-in-chief of Toutiao will help you do that."

“Once your reputation has accumulated to a certain level, we can consider how to promote you to the position of director,” Su Yu explained to Arthur.

Seeing how serious Su Yu was, Arthur's expression gradually became serious as well: "Su, we are friends, that's true, but I think I should ask you in advance what you want to get?"

Clearly, Arthur Weasley wasn't stupid; he didn't think Su Yu's help was purely out of friendship. He understood the relationship between giving and receiving.

Su Yu said, "I hope to promote the integration of more Muggle items and magic, such as my magic pistol and magic car. I hope these things can be sold normally in the UK."

After a moment of silence, Arthur said, "If it's this matter, no matter what position I'm in, I will do my best to push it forward, but I can't guarantee success."

"It's a pleasure to do business with you!" Su Yu extended his hand.

"Happy cooperation!"

……

After finishing their business, their conversation became much more casual. Arthur praised Su Yu's invention of the magic phone, while Su Yu praised the twins.

Just then, Percy casually walked over, poured some tea for Su Yu, and asked, "Professor Su, is Raven's Feather planning to recruit new members next semester? I'm very interested in that."

Percy figured that since neither of his two younger brothers was willing to recommend him, he would try to get in through Su Yu.

Su Yu looked at the young man with a half-smile and said, "Of course we will recruit you, but we use a recommendation system internally. George and Fred each have two recommendation slots, so you can have them recommend you."

"I... okay, Professor Su, I'll go and discuss it with them." Percy didn't expect Su Yu to pass the buck back to him.

In front of his father and Su Yu, Percy was too embarrassed to say that his two younger brothers had already refused his request.

But as Percy's father, Arthur saw through Percy's little scheme at a glance. After he left, Arthur said helplessly, "Percy is a very smart boy, but sometimes he seems to be too smart..."

“It’s alright, Arthur. Kids need guidance and challenges. Guess what method he’ll use to persuade George and Fred?” Su Yu said nonchalantly.

“I hope he can play the family card, but I suspect he might use his position as prefect to give Fred and George some privileges in return.” Arthur shook his head. He had tried many times to tell Percy about the specialness and importance of family ties, but Percy always dismissed it.

After Percy left, George and Fred arrived. They took out their magic phones and said, "Professor Su, we've developed a new game. What do you think?"

As they spoke, the two simultaneously opened an application and connected for a battle. The light from the phone projected two wizards holding wands and dressed in black robes.

"Except for your weapons! (Petrify them all!)" George and Fred shouted at the same time.

The black-robed wizard projected from the phone immediately took action, casting a spell, and the wizard himself also dodged under the control of the two people's consciousness.

The two continued like this, casting spells back and forth for a full three minutes. In the end, George proved to be the better player and hit Fred first, winning the game.

"Haha, Fred 25:21, I'm leading you by 4 games!" George said excitedly, while looking at Su Yu, waiting for the teacher's evaluation.

To be honest, Su Yu was quite shocked. In just one month, the two of them had already developed a magic game to this extent.

However, the drawbacks are also obvious. On the one hand, the battle scene is too monotonous, and you can only dodge to the left or right, which seems a bit rigid.
